Hi all!
I've searched the forums, but haven't been able to find much directly relating...
After winter storage (with full gas tank to avoid corrosion) I've started up my 1998 Kat 600 again, to find it running great. BUT....
After riding I put it on the sidestand and 2 days later it appears there was a fluid leak running down the side, coming out of the petcock-hole. I'm pretty sure it's gas (smell + location), but I haven't been able to diagnose further, as I've had to store it up in at a friends' due to a small snowshower. I put it on centerstand to see if I can avoid the problem.
It appears there's no difference whether the petcock is in the ON or RES position (still leaking).
Anybody have some preliminary ideas before I start disassembly? I've heard of the notorious petcock problems, but also considered a stuck floater???
